I have made the same thing except with Swiss cheese instead of cheddar and it delicious! And if you buy your pineapple already cored at the grocery store, just dump the first 4 ingredients into the plastic container that the cut pineapple came in to save yourself a container to wash or waste. Thanks for posting.
